2024 NFL Head Coaching Carousel

They do have that going for them. Also some extra draft capital. It's not a Carolina 2023 situation he'd be walking into. But I really do think he ballked at leaving because of how badly things ended.

I think you're right. I also think coaches should not make important career decisions in the immediate aftermath of a gut-wrenching playoff loss.

 

[QYFW]

Absolutely. I assume, though, that Washington wasn't willing to let him hold them up and that forced a decision.

Will be interesting to see who the remaining teams end up with. Figure McDonald and ... ????.

It says a lot for an ass't coach when he is willing to bet on himself and wait on taking his first HC gig. A rotten first gig with a rotten no-win organization can doom the guy for the rest of his career. For all of Belichick's many faults, he knew enough to understand he wasn't getting a third chance if he blew the second one, so he bided his time with Parcells for a few years. And he still might not get that third chance!

The Seahawks were also interested in him.

Maybe he's waiting to coach Caleb Williams.

The Commies are in need of a major rebuild. The Seahawks, maybe just a reshuffle of the deck.

You and @outofplace are each in a different stage of denial.

Slowik staying in Houston, too, so maybe this is a trend.

Texans vs. Lions in Super Bowl 59, with the winner immediately getting the last open HC gig?

Nah. I know Tomlin isn't going anywhere. I've watched how the Rooneys operate for a very long time. That doesn't mean I agree with it.

 

[DanOregon]

I'd at least wait to find out who Washington hires a GM before I committed.

 

[Brooklyn Bridge]

I wonder if Johnson's salary demands gave Washington pause and he pulled his name out.
